6. Set Temperature Rise

NOTE: Blower access door must be installed when taking temperature rise reading. Leaving blower access door off will result in incorrect temperature measurements.

!CAUTION

FURNACE DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in shorten furnace life.

Set air temperature rise within limits specified on the rating plate to prevent reduced life of furnace components. Operation is within a few degrees of the mid-point of rise range when setup switch SW1-4 is OFF.

!CAUTION

UNIT DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in overheating the heat exchangers or condensing flue gases in heat exchanger areas not designed for condensate.

Temperature rise must be within limits specified on unit rating plate. Operation is within a few degrees of midpoint of rise range when setup switch SW1-4 is OFF.

When setup switch SW1-4 is ON, operation will be near the high end of the rise range for improved comfort.

Furnace must operate within ranges of temperature rise specified on the furnace rating plate. Determine air temperature rise as follows:

a.Place thermometers in return and supply ducts as near furnace as possible. Be sure thermometers do not see heat exchanger so that radiant heat does not affect readings. This practice is particularly important with straight-run ducts.

b.When thermometer readings stabilize, subtract return- air temperature from supply-air temperature to determ- ine air temperature rise.

NOTE: Temperature rise can be determined for low-heat operation by placing setup switch SW1-2 on furnace control in ON position. For high-heat operation, place setup switch SW1-2 in OFF position and jumper R-W2 on furnace control. DO NOT forget to return setup switch to OFF position and remove R-W2 jumper upon completion of testing.

c.This furnace is capable of automatically providing proper airflow to maintain the temperature rise within the range specified on furnace rating plate. If temperat- ure rise is outside this range, proceed as follows:

(1.) Check gas input for low- and high-heat opera- tion.

(2.) Check derate for altitude if applicable.

(3.) Check all return and supply ducts for excessive restrictions causing static pressure greater than 0.5-In. W.C..

(4.) Ensure Low Heat Rise Adjust switch SW1-3 on furnace control is in ON position when a bypass humidifier is used. (See Fig. 26 for switch loca- tion.)

(5.) Make sure proper model plug is installed.

d.Remove thermostat jumpers and release blower access door switch.

e.Repeat Steps a through c as required to adjust for high heat temperature rise.

f.When correct high heat input rate and temperature rise is achieved, turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to OFF.

g.Release blower access door switch.

h.Remove manometer or similar device from gas valve.

i.Re-install manifold pressure tap plug in gas valve. (See Fig. 49.)

!WARNING

FIRE HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury, death, and/or property damage.

Reinstall manifold pressure tap plug in gas valve to prevent gas leak.

j.Remove thermostat jumper wire from furnace control board.

k.Turn gas valve ON/OFF switch to ON.

!CAUTION

FURNACE OVERHEATING HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in reduced furnace life.

Recheck temperature rise. It must be within limits specified on the rating plate. Recommended operation is at the mid-point of rise range or slightly above.

l.Proceed to Step 6, “Set Blower Off Delay” before in- stalling blower access door.

7.Set Blower Off Delay

a.Remove blower access door if installed.

b.Turn Dip switch SW-7 or SW-8 ON or OFF for de- sired blower off delay. (See Table 10 and Fig. 26 and 53.)

8.Set thermostat heat anticipator.

a.Mechanical thermostat. Set thermostat heat anticipator to match the amp. draw of the electrical components in the R-W/W1 circuit. Accurate amp. draw readings can be obtained at the wires normally connected to ther- mostat subbase terminals, R and W. The thermostat anticipator should NOT be in the circuit while measur- ing current.

(1.) Set SW1-2 switch on furnace control board to ON.

(2.) Remove thermostat from subbase or from wall.

(3.) Connect an amp. meter as shown in Fig. 51. across the R and W subbase terminals or R and W wires at wall.

(4.) Record amp. draw across terminals when furnace is in low heat and after blower starts.

(5.) Set heat anticipator on thermostat per thermostat instructions and install on subbase or wall.

(6.) Turn SW1-2 switch OFF.

(7.) Install blower access door.

b.Electronic thermostat: Set cycle rate for 3 cycles per hr.

9.Set Airflow for Air Conditioning -Single Stage and High Stage Cooling

The ECM blower can be adjusted for a range of airflow
